Dorman 76989 Sliding Window Latch Kit Compatible with Select Dodge / Ford Models

The install went very smoothly. It is an exact fit for the original latch in my 1993 F-150. However, that's where the good ended. I put it all together, and the first time I tried to latch the window it broke. Awful product, stay away! I know it's just plastic, but the original plastic latch lasted almost 20 years. I ordered this product C.R. LAURENCE DVL2 CRL Replacement Metal Backslider Latch and although the holes didn't line up exactly the latch is made of metal and probably won't break for a long time.

This is an item that is going to break sometime. It is plastic just like my OEM was. I have ordered it in the past and worked fine. Last order the part looked to have slight flaw and it broke the 1st time used. When seller was notified, the sent a replacement quickly. Seller/Amazon stood behind there window latch, resulting with happy customer. Thanks.

Do not waste your money on this latch. I bought one to replace the latch that had broken off my 1984 F-150 after nearly 30 years of use. Tried installing the new latch and one of the screws broke in half while running it down with my Porter Cable cordless drill with the torque set at 2. Had to drill a new hole up to 3/16 to get the old screw out, then after filling the bigger hole with JB Stick, re-drilling and installing another screw everything seemed fine. After reading other reviews about the latch breaking, I knew I had to be very careful. Even then, I started slowly pushing the latch down to lock it, and with very little force the plastic snapped. I'm not going to bother returning an item that only costs $5 as it is not worth the trouble, but wanted to write a review to let other people know that you are better off finding a latch in a junkyard.

easy install and fits/ works perfectly! i should have done this way sooner :)

I installed this to fix the broken sliding window latch on my 95 Ram 2500 diesel. Low enough price with Prime, I thought, and I figured it would work. Just got the part yesterday, tried to install today, and after I got both latch and catch installed, I tried to close the latch. It was tight, so pushed a little harder and the latch broke. Complete junk, just like most of the other reviewers said. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME ON THIS PRODUCT.

Easy to install… duh! The plastic is flimsy and breaks after opening and closing the window 4 or 5 times!! Would recommend getting a metal one…( if findable)!!

Took a while to send but as advertised

I've had a broken rear latch for years. I went to Amazon saw it was a cheap fix and ordered this unit. Comes in cardboard backed plastic packaging with what you see in the pictures, no instructions, no warnings or nothing. Ok, it's not a difficult product to figure out, so I laid it out, saw I would have two pieces left over (I'm assuming for a different make). So I unscrewed the broken old unit. Screwed the new unit on, the screws don't feel smug by the way, they were loose the whole product wiggled, after both pieces were on the window I went to close the latch and snap, the new piece broke on the first bend. I now have two sets of broken window latches. What a joke. Would never recommend.

No me gusto porque se ve que se romperá muy facil

A poor replacement for what was already a poorly designed part. Broke right after install on the first latch. Have gone through three now all with the same immediate result. Sorry, one lasted untill it's second latch. I ended up just cutting wooden Dowlings to "lock" the window

Esta muy padre pero, se quebro a la primer vez de usarlo. El plastico que usa para doblarse como que estaba reseco y se trono

Broke 1st time attempting to latch the window. Not impressed.Had 2nd one shipped. Broke 1st use.Requires better quality control.
